The 61-acre park, known as Hook Mountain to locals, includes a main trail that stretches alongside the Hudson River and attracts bicyclists, dog walkers, and runners. Bird-watchers look for hawks, and area residents come with their lawn chairs and Sunday papers. Bring lunch and enjoy it at a waterfront picnic table. Parking is free weekdays in May, September (after Labor Day), and October.
